Thanks to Hector for filming and to Akihabara News for the loan of their video camera.
Music is "Young Folks" by the most most awesome Peter, Bjorn & John.
And as always, you can join the empire at Starwars.com.
I've done a few dance videos and think that the ones at night look much better than the daytime ones - probably because the neon lights and reflections captures the atmosphere of Tokyo?
And for folks who cant be bothered to watch the video, some screencaps below.

Looks like you brightened things up for that queue a bit. The schoolgirls looked pretty excited too.

The cover of Young Folks that The Kooks did is much better, in my opinion. It's really catchy.

Pursuing that ever-elusive diploma.
Stormtrooper rockin' out with a guitar. NICE!
(ID #236746) Posted on 2008/07/13 18:51
This video didn't really do anything for me, but I'm eagerly awaiting that Tokyo Rock Trooper video, and I literally laughed out loud at Rick Trooper
(ID #236758) Posted on 2008/07/13 19:14
i'm waiting for the rock trooper :D

I cant wait to get rick rolled!!!
(ID #236778) Posted on 2008/07/13 20:00
Waiting for the real one. I guess with this video (especially the seconds on CNN) you'll really become famous in the end! Congrats!
(ID #236818) Posted on 2008/07/13 21:44

Ok second try... first comment didn't appear and got eaten by the puppet master. Nice one, at least i had something to laugh now. ;) Day or Night, both is fine for me but Night can be cooler due the neon lights giving the video a slight disco atmosphere, i agree with you on that. :)

Nice moves, Danny! :D Much appreciate the effort you go since I noticed that everyone in that line was like collapsed from the heat and you're dancing your armour off as a Storm Trooper!! Now, about that upcoming Rick Ashley tribute... can't you do a Bros one instead? "When will I, will I be famous?!"

nice video, but what's so special bout iphone since it's just a regular 3g handphone with the word "i" in the front so what makes people want to wait in lines for hours waiting to get a chance to buy it? i mean there's a lot of 3g handphones so why iphone?

I like the video, had a nice apple feel to it.

This is not a bad video Danny. I do think the past ones have been better. You might be right about the night videos though...

Hey anytime is a good time to boogie down! (hey wonder if any jedi may make an appearance) Could imagine a dancing video contest with you going along with them. Can't wait to see more of these fun videos soon. Especially the "Rick Astley" =D

omfg, that last part of the video made me rofl, especially the part with the reporter and you doing the zombie/thriller move. you should breathe new life into the rick-rolling thing with a full vid.

judging from the screencaps, you seem to have made their day. giggly school girls are always game for a photo or 2.

You should get one of those neck-AC units. Install it inside the suit somewhere, along with a mini-heater for the winter.

(ID #237312) Posted on 2008/07/14 12:49
Wow, that was pretty cool. And I love the new vid's... but it seems some of one of them got leaked on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU How'd that happen Danny?
(ID #237305) Posted on 2008/07/14 12:31
The preview option kind of foiled that plan, lol

LOL. i totally didn't expect the rick trooper at the end. I'll surely be waiting for that. heheh! Also I noticed while watching the video, I saw that familiar move again @ 1:23-1:26. Might want to learn some new moves next time. ^^

(ID #237477) Posted on 2008/07/14 17:36
Wow. To be featured on CNN you must be very popular. I prefer the Ipod over the phone though. I read somewhere that the phone has some gliches or something. I guess If you look at any new products that have just come out that there bound to be bugs. I think they said that about the DS too.
(ID #237487) Posted on 2008/07/14 17:44
I'm not trying to spam but I have to say this, It takes absolute guts to to what you do. Keep up the good work and info on japan.
